Chop, chop, chop!
This is my first Pinkfresh Studio stamp set with coordinating dies/stencils. To admit my bias, I have several Altenew multi-layer stamps and stamp/stencil sets, in which all of the images are separated. After nearly a dozen attempts to make this Magnolia work for me, I finally decided, "Oh, the heck with it!" and grabbed my favorite pair of fussy cutting scissors. I separated all of the images (except the 3-leaf/2-bud; I don't like the angle... I may go back with a knife later), and trimmed off any excess/hard corners. As soon as I had the large open flower by itself, it stamped perfectly. Multi-layer Magnolias are tough to find, so I was desperate to make this work. It's a beautiful set.
